Seldom-Used CB Jourdan Lewis Could Play Big Role Against Saints

CB Jourdan Lewis Getting Ready For Bounce-Back 2019 Season

For a third round pick, cornerback Jourdan Lewis sure did come to Dallas with his fair share of hype. In fact, much of Cowboys Nation was more excited about Lewis joining the Cowboys than they were about either of the team’s first two selections in that same draft, Taco Charlton and Chidobe Awuzie. But while Awuzie …

CB Byron Jones Not Expected To Return Until Week 1 Against NYG

Coming off what was clearly the best season of his career thus far, Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones underwent surgery to hopefully fix a nagging hip injury. While he earned both his first All Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2018, his first season as a full-time cornerback, Jones still has a lot to prove in the …

PFF Ranks Cowboys Run Defense 13th In The NFL

The Cowboys duo of young linebackers took the NFL by storm in 2018. Rookie Leighton Vander Esch and former second round pick Jaylon Smith played well above expectations, as for the first time in years Dallas did not face a significant drop off in defensive production when Sean Lee was out and injured. These young linebackers …

Cowboys at Raiders: La'el Collins Faces Toughest Test Yet In Khalil Mack

Is La’el Collins Playing For A Contract On A Different Team?

How good is La’el Collins? This is a question that Cowboys fans have disagreed on since his rookie season. Collins, who originally joined the team as their left guard replacing an injured Ronald Leary in 2015, moved out to right tackle in 2017, starting all 32 games there the last 2 seasons. Collins’ play has been …

BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys Sign DL Christian Covington 1

DL Christian Covington Could Be Rod Marinelli’s Next Great Find

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli has earned the reputation for finding and developing lesser-known defensive linemen over the years, and turning them into productive players for his defense. It seems like every year the Cowboys have at least one defensive tackle who entered the season with no-to-limited hype, and finished it as a hard-nosed, productive …

Allen Hurns' Frustration with Cowboys Dysfunctional Offense is Justified

How Safe Is WR Allen Hurns’ Spot Heading Into Training Camp?

The Dallas Cowboys have a logjam of talent at wide receiver. While this sentence would’ve felt impossible just a year ago, it feels like a fact heading into training camp this season. Beginning with their selection of Michael Gallup in the 2018 NFL Draft, Dallas set out on a mission to re-tool their receiving corps. And, …

Ezekiel Elliott Already Has His Second Rushing Title Locked Down

Let’s Not Forget How Good RB Ezekiel Elliott Is

Last week, I published an article claiming that Dak Prescott was the most valuable player on the Dallas Cowboys’ offense. The premise was that quarterback is the most important position in football, and Prescott is a damn good one to have. The topic? Well, it was started because NFL.com named Ezekiel Elliott the third most important …

Forget “Slump,” OL Connor Williams Looking To Make Sophomore Jump In 2019

For a second round pick, Connor Williams joined the Cowboys with some serious expectations. In 2016 the Cowboys offensive line was unanimously named the best unit in all of football. Everyone feared them, respected them, and gave them the bulk of the credit for Dallas’ surprise 13-3 season. In 2017, however, when free agency hit them …

Can TE Blake Jarwin “Burst Onto The Scene” In 2019?

Every season we look for a player to step up and provide production for the Dallas Cowboys that they didn’t get a season ago. This year, fans have been hoping that offseason acquisitions like Randall Cobb can bring that extra offense, and a pass rusher like Robert Quinn can aid the defense in new ways. But …

Expectations around individual players on the …

Prescott vs. Wentz, the Meaningless Debate Continues

Where Is Cowboys Biggest Advantage Over Their NFC East Foes?

The NFC has not had a repeat champion since Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb were losing in NFC championship games in the early 2000’s. Even when seemingly new powerhouses emerge, like the 2014 Cowboys or 2017 Eagles, these teams are unable to sustain that level of success for a second consecutive season. Whether due to injury, …

Chiefs Release Eric Berry, Should Cowboys Be Interested?

Is Safety Eric Berry In The Cowboys Future Plans?

Five time Pro Bowler. Three time first team All Pro. And, still a free agent as of July 4th, 2019. This describes safety Eric Berry, who despite meeting with multiple teams during the opening of free agency, is still without a team for the 2019 season. Berry’s resume is certainly an impressive one, but there’s good …

The Cowboys went into the 2019 NFL Draft without a first round pick, but they certainly made the most of the selections they did have. With their first pick in the second round, they added UCF defensive tackle Trysten Hill, hoping to give a much needed boost to their depth on the interior. In the third …

Though It Might've Been Inevitable, Dak Prescott Has Earned A Contract Extension

Dak Prescott Expects Big Things From Cowboys In 2019

“There’s no ceiling on this team.” Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott did not mince words when speaking with the media this week about what his expectations are for the upcoming 2019 season. Rather than giving the standard, “we’ll see what happens” type of answer, Prescott answered honestly. And, likely, answered correctly. The 2018 season was a …
